When a local attorney decided to run for Circuit Court Judge, she knew the path to victory wouldn’t be easy. With two opponents and an election year filled with high-profile mayoral races, she faced significant competition for voter attention. To stand out in a crowded political landscape, she needed a marketing strategy that would not only break through the noise but also reach a broad and engaged audience

The Challenge: Breaking Through the Noise of a Major Election Year

The judicial election was happening during a year of intense political activity, with a high-profile mayoral election dominating much of the public’s attention. With limited resources and a small campaign team, the attorney needed to find an effective and efficient way to make sure her name, experience, and campaign message resonated with voters. She couldn’t afford to rely solely on traditional methods like door-to-door canvassing or print advertising—she needed a digital strategy that would amplify her voice and reach a wide audience across multiple platforms

The Strategy: Multi-Channel Digital Marketing to Maximize Reach

Knowing her opponents would also have a strong social media presence, the attorney decided to go beyond the basics and create a robust, multi-channel digital campaign that would reach voters wherever they were. Here's how her team executed the strategy

  1. Social Media and Social Mirror: Social media was always going to be a cornerstone of the campaign, but to truly expand her reach, the team added Social Mirror to extend her messaging beyond traditional platforms. This allowed her to target the same audiences outside of Facebook and Instagram, amplifying her presence across the digital ecosystem.
  2. Video Pre-Roll and OTT Ads: To increase awareness and connect with voters through engaging, visual content, video pre-roll and OTT (Over-The-Top) ads were incorporated into the strategy. These ads ran on platforms like YouTube, targeting registered voters of all political affiliations and community-minded citizens.
  3. Targeting Registered Voters: The digital campaign was designed to resonate with a wide range of voters, ensuring her message reached as many people as possible. Her last name was already widely recognized in the community, so the messaging was crafted around this advantage, paired with highlighting her solid courtroom experience.

The Results: A Primary Victory and a Strong General Election Campaign

The primary election was a resounding success. The attorney secured more than 25,000 votes over her opponents, thanks to the effectiveness of her digital strategy. Her ability to stand out during a year dominated by mayoral politics made all the difference, allowing her to connect with voters in a highly competitive environment

As the general election approached, the attorney knew she would need to double down on her successful strategy. With a small team and limited ability to canvas every door, she turned to Mobile Conquesting Address Targeting. By acquiring a detailed voter database, the campaign was able to target active voters in the community, ensuring that no potential supporter was left behind

The results of her targeted digital campaign were undeniable

  • CTR% of 0.60%
  • Over 700,000 impressions served
  • A final victory margin of 15,000 votes

The digital strategies—combined with her clear, consistent messaging—helped propel her to a decisive win, locking in the Circuit Court Judge position

Conclusion: A Winning Digital Strategy Leads to Election Victory

This campaign is a perfect example of how a well-executed, multi-channel digital strategy can cut through the clutter of a highly competitive election year. By leveraging social media, video, OTT ads, and mobile targeting, this candidate was able to expand her reach, engage voters, and ultimately secure a significant victory
